A CHILD was injured following an accident in south Herefordshire yesterday.
Emergency services were called to the A40, by the BP petrol station, at Whitchurch at around 4.50pm.
A family from the Cardiff area were in a car that left the dual carriageway and landed down an embankment on its roof.
A three-year-old boy was treated at the scene for a head injury and was airlifted to Birmingham Childrens Hospital for further treatment.
The driver of the car, the child's mother, was uninjured and accompanied the child in the helicopter.
A second child, believed to be an eight-year-old boy, was also uninjured in the accident.
Ambulance spokesman John Hawker said that both children were using appropriate child safety seats at the time of the crash.
